Minimally invasive spine closure procedures have revolutionized the field of spinal surgery, offering patients a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgeries. These procedures require specialized tools and techniques to ensure precise and effective surgical site closure. Sharp Fluidics, a leading provider of innovative surgical solutions, offers a range of products that significantly enhance the safety and efficiency of minimally invasive spine closure. Let’s explore what patients can expect during spine closure and how Sharp Fluidics’ products contribute to the success of these procedures.
NeoClose Robotic and Laparoscopic Closure System: Streamlining Port Site Fascial Closure
One critical aspect of minimally invasive spine closure is the closure of port sites after the surgery. Sharp Fluidics’ NeoClose system provides an innovative solution for quick and secure port site fascial closure. The system includes absorbable anchors pre-attached to sutures, guided through transparent guides. This eliminates the need to search for sutures and facilitates precise tissue approximation, ensuring a secure closure without nerve entrapment.
The NeoClose system offers several advantages over traditional looped sutures. It reduces tension in the peritoneum, resulting in less pain for the patient. The closure process is faster, simpler, and cost-effective, too, enhancing surgical efficiency and patient comfort.
NeoClose AnchorGuard: Safe Port Site Closure Without Insufflation
To further enhance patient safety during a less-invasive spine closure, Sharp Fluidics introduces the NeoClose AnchorGuard. This unique device enables shielded port site closure without insufflation. After the patient’s insufflation is safely exhausted, the NeoClose AnchorGuard provides a secure closure, reducing the risk of escaping insufflation gas and minimizing the potential for aerosolized virus transmission. The AnchorGuard’s design allows clinicians to deliver the NeoClose anchors safely through the fascia with up to 75% less tension on the tissue.
Operative Armour Suture Needle Management System: Streamlining Surgical Incision Closure
Sharp Fluidics’ Operative Armour system is a groundbreaking solution that streamlines the closure of surgical incisions by eliminating the need for scrub tech assistance. This safety-engineered device enables clinicians to securely close incisions without relying on additional personnel, reducing surgical closure time and optimizing efficiency.
The system includes the Operative Armour Needle Trap, which provides a standardized and safe means to self-secure each suture needle at the point of use in the surgical field. This eliminates the risk of contaminated needlestick injuries associated with subsequent needle passage and handling. The Needle Trap can be conveniently mounted to the drape, a wrist strap, or an ergonomic forearm barrier, and it is compatible with any brand suture pack.
The Operative Armour Barrier Kit also offers an ergonomic placement option that allows clinicians to maintain their sight on the surgical field while self-dispensing suture needles. By freeing the scrub tech from needle counts and starting the OR breakdown process, the Barrier Kit reduces the time required for surgical closure. For handheld use, the Operative Armour Mini-Mount Kit provides a convenient means of dispensing and securing suture needles directly from the nearby surgical field.
Patients should be able to expect an advanced and efficient surgical experience during a spine closure procedure. Sharp Fluidics’ innovative solutions, such as the NeoClose system and the Operative Armour suture needle management system, contribute significantly to the success of these procedures. These products streamline port site fascial closure, enhance patient safety by providing shielded closures, and optimize the closure of surgical incisions, reducing the need for additional assistance. With Sharp Fluidics‘ solutions, patients can look forward to improved outcomes, reduced pain, and enhanced surgical efficiency in their minimally invasive spine closure journey.
